`(dr)/(ds) = 0.75r` Find the general solution of the differential equation

The general solution of a differential equation in a form of  can be evaluated using direct integration. The derivative of y denoted as `y'` can be written as `(dy)/(dx)` then `y'= f(x) ` can be expressed as `(dy)/(dx)= f(x)`


For the problem `(dr)/(ds)=0.75r` , we may apply variable separable differential equation in which we set it up as `f(y) dy= f(x) dx` .


Then,`(dr)/(ds)=0.75r` can be rearrange into `(dr)/r=0.75 ds` .



Applying direct integration on both sides:

For the problem `(dr)/(ds)=0.75r` , we may apply variable separable differential equation in which we set it up as `f(y) dy= f(x) dx` .


Then,`(dr)/(ds)=0.75r` can be rearrange into `(dr)/r=0.75 ds` .



Applying direct integration on both sides:


`int (dr)/r= int 0.75 ds` .


For the left side, we apply the basic integration formula for logarithm: `int (du)/u = ln|u|+C`


`int (dr) /r = ln|r|`


For the right side, we may apply the basic integration property: `int c*f(x)dx= c int f(x) dx` .


`int 0.75 ds=0.75int ds` .


Then the indefinite integral will be:


`0.75int ds= 0.75s+C`


Combining the results for the general solution of differential equation: 


`ln|r|=0.75s+C`


 `r= Ce^(0.75s)`

How are race, gender, and class addressed in Oliver Optic's Rich and Humble?

While class does play a role in Rich and Humble , race and class aren't addressed by William Taylor Adams (Oliver Opic's real name) ...
